Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 258 The Changes of the Ferocious Beast

Looking at the two soul bones radiating dazzling light in her arms, Ling Yuan felt as if a pie had fallen from the sky and hit her.

"Xiao Chen, these are two top-grade soul bones that are ten thousand years old, and you're just giving them to me?"

From the soul power emanating from these two soul bones, Ling Yuan could tell that they were over 4 years old. Having lived for decades, this was the first time she had ever received such a great gift, and it felt like a dream.

"Aunt Lingyuan, it's just two ten-thousand-year-old soul bones. You should absorb them quickly! I'll protect you."

Ye Liangchen urged the other party to absorb the soul bone quickly, as this kind of ten-thousand-year soul bone was not very useful to him; apart from selling it for money, it was just something to give away.

"Now I understand why you refused the soul bone reward in the Soul Master Competition."

"Xiao Chen, thank you."

Ling Yuan excitedly hugged Ye Liangchen tightly. This guy was truly a rare treasure; as long as you treated him well, you would be rewarded. No wonder Pope Bibi Dong doted on him so much, wishing she could give him all the good things in the world.

"Aunt Lingyuan, don't worry about these things."

Ye Liangchen was so suffocated by this fiery female Douluo that he could barely breathe, so he had no choice but to struggle to get out of her arms.

"Pfft...! Xiao Chen, I'm sorry, I got too excited."

Seeing that the guy's face was slightly flushed from being suffocated by her magnificent chest, Ling Yuan couldn't help but giggle.

Ling Yuan planned to talk to Pope Bibi Dong about joining the Tenglong Pavilion after returning to the Spirit Hall. Having received such a huge benefit from the little guy, she felt it would be unfair not to do something for him, especially since they were all on the same side now, so there was no problem.

"Xiao Chen, if you need anything in the future, Auntie will follow your arrangements."

"Smack..."

Ling Yuan kissed Ye Liangchen on the forehead, then sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the soul bone.

"Buzzing..."

Three hours later, Ling Yuan successfully absorbed two soul bones, and her soul power successfully reached level 95, officially becoming a Super Douluo.

"This feels really great. I never thought that my dream of becoming a Super Douluo would be achieved with Xiao Chen's help."

Only after becoming a Super Douluo did Ling Yuan feel that she had truly entered the ranks of the strong.

"Pfft...! He promised to protect me, but he's asleep."

After absorbing the two soul bones, Ling Yuan woke up to find Ye Liangchen already fast asleep on the bed. She couldn't help but smile, then got up, covered him with a blanket, and went to the living room sofa to meditate and cultivate the Xuan Tian Gong.

Nothing happened that night, and the next morning, the two headed towards the Starry Sky Forest.

"Aunt Lingyuan, you should go straight back to the Spirit Hall! I'll go there after I've taken care of everything."

After arriving at Soul Hunter Town, Ye Liangchen did not plan to let Lingyuan Douluo follow him. If this woman went to the Lake of Life and saw the bull-headed snake and the giant monkey, she would be unable to resist making a move, which would be troublesome. After all, in the original story, she died at the hands of those two 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

"Xiao Chen, how can this be? How can I leave you alone to venture into the Star Dou Forest? I promised Aunt Lan that I would protect your safety."

Ling Yuan dared not let Ye Liangchen venture into the Star Dou Great Forest alone.

"Once I enter the core area of ​​the Star Dou Forest, a super strong expert will come to pick me up, so I don't need to worry about any safety issues at all. Aunt Ling Yuan, if you go, they will ask all sorts of questions, which will be very troublesome."

"Alright then! I'll wait for you in Soul Hunter Town."

Hearing Ye Liangchen say this, Ling Yuan understood that the god-level expert certainly didn't want anyone else to disturb him, so she had no choice but to stay in the town and wait.

"I'm leaving."

Ye Liangchen waved goodbye to Ling Yuan and then headed towards the Starry Sky Forest.

"This little guy is pretty quick."

After watching Ye Liangchen disappear from her sight, Ling Yuan couldn't help but smile. She then found a hotel in the Soul Hunter Town to stay in and wait for Ye Liangchen's return.

"Swish..."

Ye Liangchen arrived at a deserted valley, then activated the Wind and Thunder Wings' external soul bone and flew towards the Star Dou Forest.

Upon entering the Starry Sky Forest, the breath of nature washes over you, instantly refreshing your mind and spirit.

Upon returning to the Starry Sky Forest, Ye Liangchen naturally wouldn't let any spiritual herbs slip by, so he busied himself collecting them along the way.

"Awoo..."

"quack…"

"Hiss..."

The spirit beasts in the Star Dou Forest were very wary of Ye Liangchen, a human, intruding, and would occasionally let out a warning sound.

"Don't mess with me, or I'll have you shot."

With a thought, Ye Liangchen gripped his assault rifle to guard against any sneak attacks from the soul beasts. However, most of these soul beasts were hundreds or thousands of years old, and sensing the soul power emanating from Ye Liangchen, they all backed down, not daring to provoke him.

Two days later, Ye Liangchen leisurely stepped into the core area of ​​the Star Dou Forest, while the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who was eating barbecue skewers in the central area of ​​the Lake of Life, suddenly froze.

"Xiao Jin, what's wrong?"

When Brigitte saw the three-eyed golden lion suddenly become wary, she couldn't help but ask it out of curiosity.

"Brother Ye is here."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion exclaimed excitedly, then dashed out and sped towards the outer edge of the Lake of Life.

"Bridget, Xiao Chen is here. Go and greet him."

Just then, the space rippled, and the ethereal voice of the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena reached Bi Ji's ears.

"Yes, my lord."

Biji quickly followed the three-eyed golden lion and flew out. In the past two years, in order to cook delicious food for the auspicious beast, Biji had trained herself to become a master chef.

On the other side, after Ye Liangchen arrived at the core area, he quickly used his powerful divine sense to investigate the locations of those ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, trying to avoid conflict as much as possible.

"Splash..."

After walking around the core area for most of the day, Ye Liangchen suddenly discovered that other soul beasts were fleeing the area as if they had encountered some great terror.

"Am I that scary?" Ye Liangchen muttered to himself, feeling a little strange.

"Huff huff..."

Just then, a whooshing sound came from the woods ahead, followed by a huge golden lion dog leaping out.

"Brother Ye, you've arrived."

This beast was none other than the auspicious Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Upon seeing Ye Liangchen, it immediately let out an excited cry and then pounced towards him.

"Jin Ling'er, you can speak now?"

Ye Liangchen was quite surprised to see that this docile auspicious beast could actually speak. He reached out and stroked its soft, smooth golden fur, which felt incredibly silky.

At this moment, Ye Liangchen finally remembered why those ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts had run away. It turned out that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the little tyrant of the Star Dou Forest, had arrived.

"Yes! Yes! My cultivation has reached over ten thousand years, and I can speak now."

The three-eyed golden lion rubbed its huge head against Ye Liangchen and blinked, giving him a look that said, "Praise me!"

"Ling'er, you're amazing!"

"Here's a bottle of Soul Power Pills for you."

Ye Liangchen naturally understood what the cute beast meant, and quickly praised it, even taking out a bottle of Soul Power Pills to feed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"Thank you, Brother Ye."

"Oh! It's so delicious! Brother Ye, I want more!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion downed a bottle of Soul Power Pills in one gulp, letting out a comfortable sound, and then begged Ye Liangchen to take more pills.

"Ling'er, with your huge appetite, no amount of food will be enough for you."

Ye Liangchen had no choice but to take out another bottle and feed it to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"Swish..."

"Xiao Chen, it's been two or three years since I last saw you, you've gotten even more handsome!"

Just then, a graceful green figure descended from the sky, smiling at Ye Liangchen.

"Sister Brigitte, you're getting more and more beautiful."

When Ye Liangchen saw Bi Ji arrive, he immediately engaged in a round of mutual flattery with her.

Looking at Brigitte's green clothes and green hair, Ye Liangchen couldn't help but think to himself: If you want to get by in life, you have to grow some green on your head.

"Pfft...! Xiao Chen, you're quite the talker."

"Let's go! The Lord is waiting for you!"

"Little Jin, keep up!"

Biji smiled charmingly, then led Ye Liangchen and the auspicious beast toward the Lake of Life.

"Sister Brigitte, that silly rabbit also went to participate in the Soul Master Competition... and then she sacrificed herself to me."

As Ye Liangchen walked, he told Biji about Xiaowu's sacrifice.

"Xiao Chen, don't worry about it. That silly rabbit is so arrogant that he went to Wuhun City to participate in some competition. He's just asking for death. He has no one to blame but himself."

Brigitte waved her hand dismissively. After all, the little rabbit wasn't a core member, so it didn't matter if she died.

"Sister Brigitte, if the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Ape knew that Xiao Wu sacrificed herself for me, would they kill me?"

Ye Liangchen was a little worried about Xiao Wu's two licking beasts. If they knew about Xiao Wu's situation, they would definitely go crazy.

"If they dare to go berserk, they're courting death."

Biji coldly said, "If these two mere 100,000-year-old soul beasts rebel, then let them become the little guy's soul rings."

"Brother Ye, those two ugly beasts dared to cause you trouble, so I'll eat them up."

The three-eyed golden lion waved its claws, appearing to protect Ye Liangchen.

"Ling'er, there's no need to be so violent! They're 100,000-year-old soul beasts!"

Looking at Jin Ling'er's expression, Ye Liangchen thought: Those two soul beasts are your gatekeepers! If they hear this, they'll probably question their very existence.

"How can any of them compare to Brother Ye?"

The three-eyed golden lion curled its lip, showing its disdain for the two ugly beasts.

"Alright! Xiao Jin, don't say that."

Brigitte ruffled the auspicious beast's fur, genuinely worried that the little guy might cause trouble for the two goalkeepers.

"Buzzing..."

"Sister Biji, Xiaowu's soul is still inside the first soul ring of my sword spirit."

"Xiao Wu, come out."

Ye Liangchen released his 100,000-year soul ring, then used his soul to communicate with the little rabbit, intending to give her a surprise.

"Ye Liangchen, it's been so long since you've chatted with me."

Xiao Wu's soul transformed into a phantom and floated out of the soul ring, appearing quite excited.

"Ah...! This...this...!"

The next moment, Xiao Wu saw Bi Ji and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and was startled. At this moment, she was trembling under the pressure of the powerful bloodline on the two beasts.

The auspicious beast looked at Xiao Wu's shadow, its golden eyes revealing a look of disdain, thinking: This silly rabbit has transformed, but she's not that pretty! If I were to transform, I would definitely be prettier than her.

"Xiao Wu, how was it? Surprised? Unexpected?"

Looking at the little rabbit's blank expression, Ye Liangchen couldn't help but tease it.

"Surprise? More like a shock."

"Xiao Wu of the Soft-Boned Rabbit Clan greets the two lords."

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes at Ye Liangchen, then turned around and knelt down in front of Bi Ji and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"Silly rabbit, you've got yourself killed this time!" Brigitte shook her head helplessly as she looked at the shadow formed from Xiao Wu's soul.

"My lord, I was wrong."

Xiao Wu lowered her head, her ears drooping, and she didn't dare to breathe loudly.

The ferocious beast before him must be one of the powerful beings his father had mentioned. Years ago, his father went to explore the center of the Lake of Life, only to be swallowed whole by a gigantic behemoth.

"It's good that you know you were wrong, but it's also a blessing that you sacrificed yourself for Xiao Chen. Go back to your soul ring first! When Xiao Chen becomes a god in the future, you will have a chance to be resurrected."

Biji said calmly, feeling fortunate for the little rabbit. If this silly rabbit had chosen to sacrifice itself for Tang San, it would have had no chance to be resurrected, since that kid seemed to have fallen.

"Your Excellency is right," Xiao Wu said weakly, before returning to her spirit ring.

"Xiao Chen, let's go."

Biji led Ye Liangchen on their way to the Lake of Life.

"Sister Brigitte, has Sister Na's strength returned to its peak?" Ye Liangchen inquired about Gu Yuena's condition.

"He has recovered long ago. His Majesty is in a very good mood now and often leads everyone to study the 'Bingxin Jue' that you gave us before."

"Xiao Chen, let me tell you, ever since everyone started to understand your 'Ice Heart Manual,' even Xiong Jun, who has the worst temper, has become able to think about problems. ...And Xiao Jin's intelligence has also improved significantly because he eats cooked food."

With great enthusiasm, Biji described the changes of the various ferocious beasts to Ye Liangchen. It has to be said that the surprises this human boy brought to everyone were truly amazing.

"Brother Ye, I've also comprehended the 'Ice Heart Technique'!" Jin Ling'er boasted from the side.

"That's really good."

Upon hearing Bi Ji's words, Ye Liangchen felt that he had already led these ferocious beasts astray, which was good.

Unbeknownst to him, Ye Liangchen had followed the two great beasts to the outer edge of the Lake of Life.

"Splash..."

At this moment, the lake surface rippled, and the enormous head of the Azure Bull Python emerged from the water, showing a surprised expression when it saw Ye Liangchen.

The clumsy Titan Ape squatted on the distant shore, head drooping, terrified and unable to look at Bi Ji and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"What are you looking at?"

The three-eyed golden lion roared at the blue ox python, thinking: "You're so ugly, what if you scare Brother Ye? I'll skin you alive!"

"Splash..."

Upon being roared at by the auspicious beast, the Azure Bull Python immediately submerged its head in the lake, thinking: You are an auspicious beast, you are aloof, you are remarkable.

Seeing the Azure Bull Python looking like a punching bag in front of the auspicious beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Ye Liangchen found it quite amusing.

Ignoring the two gatekeepers, Biji led Ye Liangchen and the auspicious beast to the deepest part of the Lake of Life.

"Swish..."

After passing through several barriers, Ye Liangchen arrived at the island in the center of the lake, where he saw Di Tian waiting for him with a group of ferocious beasts.

"Welcome to the Lake of Life." Zi Ji greeted Ye Liangchen with a smile.

"Hello everyone!"

Seeing the group of ferocious beasts welcoming him, Ye Liangchen also greeted them.

"Your strength has improved very quickly!"

Di Tian looked at Ye Liangchen and was slightly surprised to sense that this guy's soul power had reached the high-level Soul Emperor.

"It's just so-so, far from good enough."

Ye Liangchen said modestly, "We can't be arrogant in front of these ferocious beasts."

"Di Tian, ​​you've all changed so much!"

Seeing that these ferocious beasts all looked like sages, Ye Liangchen found it very interesting.

"Kid, I understand now. Back then you said humans were the most intelligent race. Let me tell you, ever since I started eating cooked food and comprehending your Ice Heart Technique, I've come to understand many things..."

Xiong Jun began to tell Ye Liangchen about his life insights gained over the past two years.

"Bear, what are you talking about with Brother Ye about life ideals? You're not human, you're a ferocious beast. Those are beastly ideals, not life ideals."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion couldn't help but purse its lips as it looked at Xiong Jun's simple-minded appearance.

"Haha...! The auspicious beast is right." Di Tian, ​​Bi Ji, Chi Wang, and the other ferocious beasts were all amused.

"Di Tian, ​​I unexpectedly obtained a cultivation technique called the Xuan Tian Gong. If you are interested, I will pass it on to you and guarantee that you will see a different world of cultivation."

Ye Liangchen planned to pass on the Xuan Tian Gong to these ferocious beasts and see how effective it would be.

"Mysterious Heaven Skill?"

"The name itself sounds magical."

When Di Tian, ​​Bi Ji, and their gang of ferocious beasts saw that Ye Liangchen possessed such a skill, they immediately became interested.

"Buzzing..."

Just then, a portal appeared in the air, and a jade hand reached out, grabbed Ye Liangchen, and then disappeared.

"The lord has Xiao Chen arrested and imprisoned."

Biji and Ziji exchanged a smile, feeling that their master was too impatient.

"Di Tian, ​​go catch some small animals to prepare dinner."

After bringing Ye Liangchen into the Dragon Palace, Gu Yuena didn't forget to inform Di Tian to prepare food.

"Yes, my lord." As Gu Yuena's most loyal subordinate, Di Tian did whatever she asked.

"Sister Na, why did you drag me in without even saying hello? I was almost scared to death."

Ye Liangchen didn't expect that Gu Yuena would actually drag him directly into the Dragon Palace. As expected of the Silver Dragon King, she was really domineering. Fortunately, she didn't make him a dragon knight at the moment.
